CASEing myself

If this looks familiar to you, it's because I made a very similar card at Christmas.  I made this to send to my hubby to let him know how much I'm looking forward to seeing him after my 3-week business trip.  It's also one more project in my quest to use up all of my Jolly Holiday DSP.  Maybe I'm kidding myself, but this cared doesn't seem too Christmasy to me, just masculine.  I realized after I made it that the circles lined up between the 2 patterns.  That was total luck, LOL!  For the sentiment, I used Word Play and Four Frames (omitted the bird).

Happy stamping!

Second workshop card

Our second workshop card featured the faux peeling wallpaper technique. This one is perfect for the Springtime Vintage DSP, don't you think? The key here is distressing the heck out of the paper. Pauline did a great job once she got over having to wreck the paper, LOL!
I made the card base 4 X 5 1/4 with a Rose Red mat (4 1/4 X 5 1/2) attached to the back of the card. The beauty of this is that I was able to use 2 4X4 pieces of DSP for the wallpaper, so I don't end up with any waste!
This card also features the Four Frames and Hodgepodge Happiness stamp sets.
P.S. I would not recommend using a border punch like I did. Three layers of paper was too much! It's very raggedy.
Happy stamping!

Four Frames and Paisley Petals

Isn't that stamp awesome??? I really love the new Four Frames stamp set. The card base is Crumb Cake, and the DSP is matted with Not Quite Navy. I used a piece of Sticky Strip to adhere the Baja Breeze seam binding ribbon. (You'd better order that ribbon now because it's not in the Summer Mini! SOB) I cut out the butterflies with the Big Shot and the Beautiful Wings Embosslit. Happy stamping!
